From Ari Wasserman at cleveland.com:

This is still all about business, though. That isn't lost on Coombs, who made Ohio State a force again in Cincinnati by bringing some of the city's best players to Columbus, including former five-star linebacker Justin Hilliard and and four-star tight end Jake Hausmann. The only player from Cincinnati the Buckeyes lost during Coombs' tenure was four-star offensive lineman Tommy Kraemer in the 2016 class, who committed to Notre Dame.

Given Coombs' deep past at Colerain, everyone assumes Ohio State is the overwhelming favorite to land Riep. It's admittedly hard to imagine Coombs having to explain to Meyer why the talented cornerback left the state. 

But it's important to understand that a lot of time has passed since Coombs was at Colerain, since he coached guys like safety Eugene Clifford, a former U.S. Army All-American who helped the Cardinals win the title in 2004.
